Hiramaru owned the chapter again although he only had 2 pages of screentime, which is more than the usual for him.

and a the story took a nice 60° turn there, much tension´s building up. . . :P

[Divini]

Haha, for a such a long-standing relationship Miho sure is ruthless in throwing it all down and drawing the line! Though I think it's more like "getting into a fight" than "getting dumped" - overreacting much Mashiro? Well I guess for him he would be inexperienced with this subject.

Miho on the other hand, is either very angry, very clever, or maybe a mix of both. It'll definitely force Mashiro to significantly act to solve this Shujin problem, which is how I saw it.

In any case, this chapter did open up things quite a bit. Wondering how all the new mangas will do, especially Aoki's and how it'll effect this whole Shujin love-polygon thing; with another reason as it's basically her rip-off of M+M's love story rofl. My guts want to hate Nakai, but remembering how he was dumped -- made me kind of understand why he's probably acting that way. Doesn't mean he's not a jerk of course. And then, thanks to Freeter, I was reminded of Eiji's "cancellation" card in his pocket, which really made me reread his comments towards the new series'...

[Kafriel]

Miho sure is whack, Mashiro should have asked her if she would confide in him something that Miyoshi told her not to tell anyone...

[Wrath88]

I think she's probably thinking that the two of them are playing dumb about the letter, which translates into 'I can't trust them', and therefore she gets angry. Whether it leads to a full breakup or not remains to be seen.

[Kafriel]

I highly doubt that...I'm more interested to find out what their "true manga" will be, Hattori and Eiji are looking down on the inventor thing, and they're supposed to be the experts here. I'd also like to see the newbie who came up with the real humans idea, should be interesting.

[Nosauz]

Colbert.... You've done it again, your portrait within a portrait, within a portrait within a portrait, within a portrait has once again inspired great work.

Boy oh boy, really good chapter, they really picked it up after the hospital arc, but man these idiots are their constant, ZOMG she hung up on me and I is dumped is kinda stupid, but other than that hilarious and great chapter.

It's not a breakup. I think she realized that they're actually dumb enough to not know about the letter, so she backed off to let them think about it, with some stern warning for Mashiro to get his ass in gear.

Mashiro's overreaction makes me want to go grab him by the shoulders and shake him.

By the way, Nakai keeps on finding more steps on my ladder to fall through. Good job.

[Kurosu]

Takagi is getting a bit annoying, because now Mashiro is getting hurt for trying to cover up Takagi's idiocy. I tolerated Takagi's general ignorance to a point, but he shouldn't keep things off as he's doing so, it's slowly developing without him taking notice of it.

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't, it's not like she even tells him about her personal dilemmas. He usually had to find out from Miyoshi. Of course that lack of communication goes both ways.

Anyways, I don't think they'll break up. This is just another obstacle to test their resolve to stay commited to each other while they try to achieve their dreams.

I'm loving Azuki's development personally. For a long time she just seemed like this boring, up on a pedestal, shy object of Mashiro's affection. But now, it's like she's becoming one of the more cool-headed, to-the-point characters in the series. And with a little bit of attitude. I approve.

[ShootingStars]

Aoki x Shujin FTW

Yep I agree, anyways, Shujin always said from the beginning to Mashiro that Miho is not all looks and that she is a very-level headed, cool and intelligent girl and she is showing all that now to Mashiro, so Mashiro better watch out or he might really get dumped

[mammothb]

yea, at least she is not the type who agree to whatever mashiro does. but i hope this is just a quarrel, not a break up:/

wait, maybe she might if she read the manga?

why not break up?
it would be an awesome plot development

[mammothb]

well, right now i'm more focused on the manga creating part of the series, though i did pick this up cuz it was romance:/

ha.. if they break up, maybe shujin and mashiro will try to apologize through their manga?

[Kafriel]

^ Maybe Miho will pick up on Aoki's manga and Shujin tells Aoki everything and then she changes it to a corny love story that later becomes true...would fit the level of romance in this manga.

[Freeter]

Spoiler for page 65:

ShujinxAoki is closer to becoming a reality

That said though, I do have to admit all the guys were pretty much jerks this chapter. Nakai was definitely the worst of the lot, he deserves to remain a fat, lonely NEET forever. I hope Shujin doesn't end up like him, but the way he just brushed off Miyoshi by saying she acts like a child might earn him a slap as well (or in Miyoshi's case, a karate chop ).

Mashiro and Azuki seem fixable though, but we'll see if they throw a new guy into the mix just to spice things up. Not really interested in their side of things anyway

[Kafriel]

Spoiler for ch.65:

Shujin and Miyoshi act more grown up and M&M, at least they realize it's their fault and don't want to ruin the "perfect couple". Shujin is still a teen, so it's natural to have dilemmas about Aoki...but Nakai's really useless, as the oldest in there he should have known better than treating Aoki like that, I hope he gets fired and comes crawling back!

[Wrath88]

If I recall correctly, Nakai hasn't gotten anything solid with that female assistant right? Big example of counting chickens before they're hatched, I see. Let's admit it, who here is looking forward to seeing Nakai go DOWN?

[LeaD36]

Aoki is so goddamn darn cute esp. on p4

and their faces are priceless^^, how can bleach actually top this? or the other 15 manga rated above bakuman? Japs have no taste imo :/
